Chapter 415: You all are my people

Istalian's voice echoed everywhere as he first told the people in front of him what Yon had told him.

"According to the information extracted from the divine being captured by us, the enemy has six more divine-rank individuals. They also have a big army that is scattered in the dark forest, searching for natural treasures because fortunately or not our planet has a lot of them."

He paused as many people's expressions hardened upon hearing the number. Right, Istalian had only talked about the divine rank individuals. But what about the pseudo-divine rank individuals? And the ones with (SSS+)-Rank strength? Their numbers would likely double or triple the divine rank individuals!

"However, recently Diora ordered everyone under her to gather at the west side of the former east Continent. They plan to attack us in a few days, or if they take as much time as possible, maybe in a week."

Sharp gasps echoed from the crowd at his words. Alec clenched his fists, just as Kyle said, they had no other choice but to either attack or get ready to suffer under the enemy. But this time, they won't wait for the enemy to run all over them. No, they will be the ones to make the opponent regret the very moment they stepped on their planet!

"Diora and Hay, the two of them are leaders of the army, along with another divine rank elven woman known as Misha. All of us have already seen the powers of Diora and Hay, but from the information, Misha is even more powerful than the two because she can control the monsters around her. As long as the beasts are weaker than her, she can make them submit to her without much difficulty."

Bia scoffed at Istalian words. She, the majestic phoenix is the one who just gained the divine authority to rule the monsters below her. Who the heck is this Misha? Does she think she can just appear out of thin air and expect Bia to let her take her one and only trump card? No way in hell!

The phoenix's eyes blazed, and she swore she would be the one to completely wipe out this Misha!

-"Let's see which is stronger, the divine majestic phoenix authority or some unknown little elf manipulation who just popped out of nowhere!"

Kyle chuckled at her words and rubbed her forehead.

"I am sure your authority is higher, but her divine pressure would be stronger. You sensed the divine pressure that the man we captured excluded. The true divine rank pressure... We have stepped into the pseudo-divine rank, but we just touched the edge of the divine realm. On the other hand, she has attained true divine strength..."

Kyle paused when a sudden idea appeared in his head. He rubbed his chin, considering if he should use it or not, and after a few seconds, gazed at Bia, who for some reason shuddered under his gaze.

-"Don't give me those eyes! They always give me chills!"

Kyle shook his head and ran his fingers through his hair, which had started to turn silver at the tips. He noticed that the more divine energy he absorbed, the stronger its effect on him became. That's why for a while now he kept spreading out his divine energy in the atmosphere, allowing his body to absorb more and fill up the space over and over again.

"No, nothing bad. I just gathered some symbols in my mind and thought of an array that would use your divine energy and construct a barrier around you. It would protect you from all types of divine pressure that can potentially affect your body. So, do you want to give it a try?"

Bia blinked, tempted by the offer. If she had something like that, she could practically bulldoze her way into the enemy camp without any restraints. As for the divine rank skills, she was confident she could dodge them with her agility.

-"But I believe the process would be very painful, right? Also, why don't you draw the symbols on yourself first so I can see its effect?"

Kyle hummed and glanced at Istalian, who was speaking to the crowd.

"Of course, it would be painful because I would have to draw the symbols directly on your body. And I don't think it would work on humans or any other race because, in the array, the main symbol I added can only be used on monsters."

Bia grumbled a little. She didn't like pain... but then she thought about the potential effect she could have by easily killing hundreds of enemies, so she agreed with a groan. A little pain would be nothing for a majestic phoenix like her!

Kyle nodded at her, and in the distance, Istalian started talking about the main topic. He said that he and other kings, along with the elven queen, had decided to gather their army and launch a surprise attack on the enemy. Istalian's voice turned a little hoarse, maybe from the mix of emotions he was feeling.

"No matter what, we are all together! We have the tower's guardians! Alec, Carcel, Jian, and all our young guardians who bravely fought on the frontline have reached the pseudo-divine rank! The Sea Continent has also sent their army this time!"

Many people were angry at the Sea Continent because the merpeople closed themselves off and hid underwater while everyone else suffered. But they didn't voice their grievances because now the Sea Continent has finally decided to help. Besides, they need as many people as possible for the war. So, even if they wanted to, they couldn't fight with the people of the Sea Continent.

Istalian let his gaze wander around the countless people in front of him before he abruptly looked at Kyle, who stared back at him. Istalian smiled and surprised Kyle by pointing directly toward him. All eyes instantly turned towards Kyle because of the King's gesture.

"Also, we have Bia, the legendary phoenix. She has reached the pseudo-divine rank too! Now her authority to control all the monsters beneath her is even stronger! So, she'll be able to control hundreds of monsters to fight against Misha!"

Many people in the crowd praised the phoenix that protected them from monsters for so many months.

Bia raised her head proudly, happy to receive so many compliments.

-"Of course, I will! You all are my people..."

Before she could say more, Kyle grabbed her beak to silence her. He didn't want her to make any unnecessary promises because he knew the battle would be life-threatening for everyone.

Istalian's smile widened, and he concluded his speech with something that Kyle didn't like even a bit.

"Lastly, we have Kyle, the strongest human on this planet. I'm sure many of you have heard or seen how easily he killed the divine-rank individual who appeared out of nowhere to harm us. He will be leading the Continent army with our young guardians. That's why I'm also declaring him as the guardian of Coexis!"

"Let's shout to welcome the new guardian and get ready for a battle - a battle that will decide our future!"

The people in front of Istalian shouted loudly, ready to fight for their lives. Kyle facepalmed with a frustrated expression.

'Who the heck asked him to make me the guardian!?'

He sighed, but then snapped his head up to look at the pair of amber eyes that had been staring at him since Istalian declared him as the Continent's guardian. She had her arms crossed and a beautiful, innocent smile on her face.

'Haha, no way, don't tell me...'

Kyle laughed dryly in his head. Bia let out a pitiful sigh and rubbed his shoulder with her paw to comfort him.

-'Just believe it, your future wife set you up.'
